"If I had to be trapped in an elevator with any contemporary intellectual,
I’d pick Richard Thaler."
—Malcolm Gladwell 
Nobel Prize-winner RICHARD THALER is a field-defining pioneer of Behavioral Economics, exploring the intersection of economics, finance and psychology. Co-author of the global bestseller Nudge, as well as Misbehaving, Thaler underscores the human side of economics and its fascinating implications for investors, marketers, policy-makers and consumers. Thaler's game-changing theories have been behind some of the most effective market strategies and revolutionary government and business policies. As a McKinsey article succinctly stated: "Richard Thaler is the rare academic whose ideas are being translated directly into action." Sought-out to deliver a keynote entitled "Nudge and How to Create a Better Future" for 800 C-level business executives at Porto Business School´s upcoming annual Conference, Thaler's keynotes reveal groundbreaking takeaways on how to drive desired behaviors and economic outcomes and provide engaging lessons on life (and its many anomalies) in and beyond the field of economics.
